Interesting version, and nice more realistic cockpit layout. Wonder why they did not try a quick port of this back to pc when hardware was more powerful. But I guess the PC crowd had enough of stealth at that time. Thanks for the video!
This version was released in 1991 so they probably had their hands full with Gunship 2000 as well. I think there was a lot of unfinished business with F-19 that they wanted to fix with F-117A and I think it would have been hard to justify a 3.0 just a few years later.
@@darkenedroom Not to nitpick, but while the original DOS version of F-117a is from 1991, the Mac version did not come along until 1994. Which would place it well after the MPS arcade machine debacle, the sellout to Spectrum Holobyte and such. So I agree that it would indeed have been hard to justify at that point. And perhaps counterintuitive to try to compete with their own F-14 Fleet Defender.
Immediate like. I like this version. What emulator are you using? Given the frame rate, Fusion 3? Once it was working well in Qemu for me, but then it started crashing like for everyone else.
I tried Qemu m68k and like you said, was very crash prone, been about 10 months since I last ran it so I'd thought I'd check. It's using MAME which has some very hardware accurate Mac emulation, although never the first thing that springs to mind when you think Mac emulation! If memory serves it's emulating a Quadra 800. Joystick support is provided by a MAME plugin I wrote, MacFlight which does some joystick/mouse axes translation. With MAME you can activate a 'cheat' menu to overclock the emulated CPU by up to 400% for smoother frame rates, although obviously the sound buffer isn't getting filled quick enough, hence the sound issues.

Yup, absolutely right Mac wasn't until '94
